Irish Chain Quilt Class - Update!

I just ordered the pattern magazine for class! WOO HOO! I can't wait for that box to arrive! We'll be using the Missouri Star Quilt Company's magazine, "The Block"! Not only will you get the pattern in the magazine, but lots of other little tidbits (and patterns) as well. Here's a little blurb from the company: "THE BLOCK by Missouri Star Quilt Company is a magazine we design, produce, and publish in house here at MSQC! There are no ads in it, not a single one. We take tutorials that Mom has done on the YouTube channel, write the patterns, then make the quilts out of new fabric with stories and guides to go along with them. Lots of photos, ideas for projects, and patterns, all written out, 10 of them, in every issue! If you don't love it, send it back, we'll give you a refund, but don't worry, you'll love it! :) " There's still room in the class! Scroll down for more information or email me!

Swoon Quilt

The other day I posted a quilt for an upcoming class called Single Irish Chain (class is on the 31st if you want to join in on the fun).  That quilt will be used in my room as a lap blanket to complement this one:

If you like the quilt above, you can get the pattern here.

Missouri Star Quilt Company

I've been poking around trying to figure out what I want to teach in the next quilt class (which is July 31st by the way) and I came across the Missouri Star Quilt Company blog.  There's this really GREAT video on a show called, "Turning Point" that's about the company.  I highly recommend watching the video.  Here's the link: Missouri Star: Turning Point
Drop me a line if you do watch it!  I wonder if you'll find it as moving as I did!
